Awesome, thanks Alex.

 

I do have wheels and motor still to upload, where does the archive end? 2007?

2016 back to 1967, though there's issues missing from the earliest decades here and there

Awesome thread guys! 

Will try and contribute a little with some work resources haha, our Wheels and Motor archive has recently gone public almost all the way back to 1953, all that's available can be viewed online.

Here's November 1990 from Wheels, behind the pits with Skiafe at Bathurst

Unfortunately missing the original July 89' piece where the "Godzilla" moniker was born...

I am glad you are liking it Alex as I am the nutter progressively raiding my archives and scanning anything BNR32 GT-R related so it can be viewed by anyone interested in it!  In your line of work though I reckon you would be well versed on what that entails!

I have the original July 1989 Wheels issue so if not uploaded already it will be soon.  Here is a copy of the cover as a tempter.  :-)59b679df9fe6c_WheelsJuly19891Of3.thumb.jpg.beede6af344a1ca922c9fc9db1d379d5.jpg

Cheers,

I will hopefully upload more in a week or so after my 24 hours of LeMons event this weekend.

Here are some pics from Retro round at Sandown over the weekend.IMG_20170916_133559314_HDR.thumb.jpg.8f8a150015e5487f204d97e624578711.jpgIMG_20170916_134050031_HDR.thumb.jpg.c9a2dc6f38dcf55ca41b989fc62c767a.jpgRGP-2017Wilson-Security-Sandown-500Sat-a49v3241.jpg.9a211c95440552873abd4116deee6b49.jpg

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
